Abstract
Techniques for transitioning a synchronous communication engaged in by a telecommunication device from a packet-switched connection to a circuit-switched connection are described herein. The techniques include either or both of the telecommunication device or the telecommunication network determining a quality metric for a synchronous communication based at least in part on monitoring of the synchronous communication, the synchronous communication being transmitted using a packet-switched connection associated with the telecommunication network. Based at least in part on the quality metric, the telecommunication network and telecommunication device switch the synchronous communication from the packet-switched connection to a circuit-switched connection associated with the telecommunication network.
